I had a foot/ankle tattoo a little over a week ago. i started getting these little red bumps. is it infected?

Might be infected!: It is possible. Is it tender to the touch? Do you experience pain and swelling? If so, I would recommend seeing a podiatrist who would prescribe you a topical antibiotic as well as an oral one if it is warranted.
